What? Lotion bits hanging from the lotion pump? This is unforgivable.

NO WAY! A full bottle of baby oil -- not a half bottle, mind you --
under a pile of junk. Well, I really don't see any alternative but to
kill her. This is outrageous behavior. Next thing you know, she'll
start keeping her toiletries in a place other than where she usually
keeps them.

Will it never end? A fork -- a dirty fork -- on the floor. That's
dangerous as well as being a total ecological nightmare! I'll bet that
disrespectful bitch left it prong-side-up, didn't she?

Well, I'm sure everyone else in the free world understands your many
references to "crates," but I am somewhat at a loss. Could these
"crates" possibly be storage boxes of some sort that you have in your
dorm room? If so, I can understand your outrage completely. Books,
curling irons, and other crap randomly stored in these storage devices!
I just don't know how you can put up with this intolerable behavior.
I once had a roomate who also put his belongings in his storage area in
a random order. Like he didn't know the alphabet. Sheyeah, right. We
had him flogged.
In short, NO WAY are you being too critical. Lotion pumps must be
washed, forks cannot be left on the floor EVER, and one's belongings
must be carefully arranged in one's crates. Everyone knows this. In
your own words, HOW CAN SHE LIVE LIKE THIS!?!?!?!?!?!?! If you allow
this behavior to continue, who knows what's next: Potato chip crumbs
left on the table? Toothbrush not properly dried after use? Telephone
receiver used but not sterilized immediately thereafter? TV remote
left on wrong side of coffee table? The mind reels.
